Students who live in Spring Lake Park Schools are assigned to a neighborhood K-4 school that serves their home address. However, the school district also offers families a number of other enrollment and specialty school options. If you don't know which school is assigned to your address, visit our online school finder.

To complete your enrollment, you will need to bring the three required documents to the District Services Center prior to Thursday, February 28 (see list below).

Priority Placement Deadline: Enroll your kindergartener by Thursday, February 28, 2019. While we accept enrollments throughout the year, we do expect spots to fill quickly in our Spanish Immersion program and those available to open-enrolled students and intra-district transfer students. A lottery drawing may be utilized for these limited spots.

Staff will assist you in completing the enrollment forms. Please bring the following three required documents with you:

Reminders

At your child’s 5-year-old checkup with their doctor, ensure that immunizations are up-to-date. (Immunizations are required by law and no student will be able to start on the first day without having these completed.)

Welcome Letters

If you are not a resident of our Blaine-Spring Lake Park-Fridley community, we welcome your interest in our exceptional schools. Acceptance may be limited in some cases to grades and schools where additional enrollment would exceed established guidelines.

Resident students of Spring Lake Park Schools may apply to attend a school that is outside their elementary school's attendance boundaries, yet still within the school district through what is called an Intra-District Transfer.

Please note, Intra-District Transfers are approved on a space-available basis. If the Intra-District Transfer is approved, district transportation is not provided. Once a transfer is approved, if you would like to return to your boundary school, a new transfer request must be submitted.

Timeline

Applications are accepted year-round, however the priority consideration application deadline for fall 2018 enrollment was February 9, 2018. Forms received after February 9 will be reviewed in the order they're received and families will be notified after the first round of placements and as space is available at sites.

Specialty Program Enrollment

Families with kindergarten students who are interested in enrolling at Woodcrest Spanish Immersion should register for kindergarten in the district prior to February 28. Enrollment into Woodcrest Spanish Immersion is determined by a lottery if there are more applicants than spots available. Completing the registration for kindergarten by February 28 will guarantee your child placement in the lottery. Results of the lottery are communicated to families by mid-March.

The Lighthouse School application process provides an opportunity for the families to get acquainted with Lighthouse and for staff to get to know the candidate.

Due to the unique environment of Lighthouse School, the application process helps to ensure the setting is an appropriate match to the student's educational needs. If you live within the district, please contact the Gifted Services specialist at your school to see if Lighthouse would be a good fit for your student.

Comprehensive

Students can enroll in the SLP Online Learning program full time (comprehensive). Please note that if you are interested in enrolling full time, you cannot be enrolled in any other Minnesota public school. You must first withdraw from your current school prior to enrolling in SLP Online.

Supplemental

Students attending other school districts in Minnesota can stay enrolled at their home district and enroll part time in SLP Online (supplemental). If you are interested in Supplemental enrollment, print and complete the following enrollment paperwork.

Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows students in grades 10-12 to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating postsecondary institutions. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses.

Interested and eligible students should contact the postsecondary institution to find out their eligibility requirements, which courses are offered and what the application process is at that institution.

To assist the district in planning, students are required to inform their district of their intent to enroll in PSEO courses during the following school year by May 30. Students should seek guidance from their high school counselor to determine if PSEO is the right fit for them and their academic plan. Interested students must complete the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Program Registration Form.

Spring Lake Park Schools offers classes, events and programs that are designed to give parents with children ages birth-kindergarten information, ideas and skills to support their child’s rapid growth and development from birth to kindergarten.
